A few years ago, I was almost 700 lbs and had large lymphedema tumors, so I contacted the show My 600 lbs Life, because I loved the show, and my life was beyond miserable and I needed the help that surgery could provide.
I sent photos and video footage of myself to the producers of the show, and they eventually decided to send a camera crew to my home for roughly a week to film an episode.
I was told after filming part one, I would have relocate temporarily to Houston, Texas to film a doctor's evaluation with Dr. Now, and later finally have surgery. I agreed to EVERYTHING, because I was so desperate for surgery.
However, after the week of filming in my life in my home, and interviewing my family members, the camera crew packed up and left, and then no one associated with the production would take my calls or call me back and this went on for weeks, meanwhile I had already made preparations to move to Houston.
After a couple months of no contact, I finally made one more call, and I was told by some nameless associate of the production, that there wasn't any interest in filming the rest of the episode with me because I simply wasn't disabled enough and didn't have any real drama going on in my life, as I don't have any kids or a dysfunctional relationship with a horrible spouse.
Fast forward a year later I was finally able to get the awesome surgery that I needed via Medicare and while I was in the hospital recovering I received a call from someone associated with the show, and I was asked how I was doing and if I was still interested in shooting the rest of the episode. I hung the phone up without saying a word. Unbelievable!
I still enjoy watching the show because it provides life changing help to people who really need it, but the idea of having to exploit one's awful condition and life in order to receive desperately needed help is just terrible.
I'm so thankful that the episode didn't get produced because I would never truly want anyone to see me in that dreadful condition, and I soon after found the will and the strength to lose almost 250 lbs all on my own and I just got sleeved two weeks ago and I've lost another 25 lbs since then.
Btw, I'm looking forward to seeing the new season of the show as well as all of you!

Thank you Montana Gal!
I'm hoping, praying, and working hard toward achieving continued success.
I'm also learning to accept the fact that this journey is a long distance marathon, and I can't be so focused on getting to my destination/goal, that I forget to enjoy the journey itself.
Life is entirely too short, let's all enjoy it while we have it!
Thanks again!

I've always wondered, does the show pay for the surgery and your relocation expenses?

Thanks for the complimentary words! The exploitative nature of the majority of "reality" tv shows makes me not want to watch them. I usually refer to "reality" tv as "humiliation" tv, because these shows seem to center on the awful behavior of some truly shameless people, and the humiliation of a great many others.
Sometimes I think these "reality" tv shows must be contributing to the overall loss of any sense of "shame" in our society. Of course, I know that's a discussion for a whole other forum.
Thanks again!
